frozen bao

I found these frozen char shu bao at Wal-Mart the other day. I used to see the Ling Ling char chu bao at Costco once in a while, but I guess there's just not enough people who like them here in Salt Lake, so all of the Costco stopped carrying them.

Anyhow, these new bao I found are from Peninsula, a company I had not yet heard of until then. It's really easy to heat these... you take one of the bao, place it on a place, cover it with a damp paper towel, and heat it in the microwave for about 50 seconds. Voila! You've got yourself a yummy and hot bao.

The taste of this bao reminded me of a Taiwanese snack made of pork. Hmmm... I think I must have one when I get home.
